I wanted to share my team's side project! We like to do R&D projects and investigate new areas, interesting problems, etc.
This application visualises the dynamic interplay between space weather and our terrestrial power grid, focusing on Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) across the UK.
By visualising the magnetic field, induced electric field, and resulting GICs, users can identify vulnerable areas of the UK power network and assess the potential for operational disruptions during geomagnetic storms.
We would love to get some feedback and expand this to cover more power grids in more countries.
